Dear Polly
Dear Polly by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, pear and black pepper, moves into rose, magnolia and cannabis and dries down to musk, amber and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Cannabis Green, resinous and skunky at the edges. Used for shock more than realism.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
